The Billionaire’s Unexpected Bride Chapter 41
ArrestedIsabella's POVTwo hours agoI knew that just claiming to have seen the bag in the room was baseless. The ladies would be questioned. However, I didn't care about them getting locked up. I mean, even if my name was mentioned, they had no proof, and I had more say than them. Still, my goal wouldn't be achieved.I stood in the dressing room, scanning the area carefully. A moment passed before I sighted a camera fixed on the ceiling."Ahhhh!" I gasped in shock.I had a lot of work to do, or I would be the one rotting in jail. I couldn't believe I didn't think of that before framing Luisa.I paced back and forth for the next few minutes before a smart idea popped into my head. I was joyous. Yes, it was going to work.I dug my phone from my pocket and opened it, I dialed a number and placed the phone against my ear. The call was picked up on the first ring."Hello, Bella," The alluring voice rang out, sending shivers down my spine.I was speechless but later found my voice. "Hello

EvidencesAdrian's POVI pressed a button, and the door opened. He walked in briskly.I frowned. "Have you taken those pictures down?""Yes, I have," Miguel replied confidently. "I also gave them a stern warning to keep their mouths sealed about it.""Good. Why do you look so disturbed?" I questioned.Miguel inhaled sharply. "Big boss, it's Madame."I frowned. "What about her?""She's being accused publicly of drug abuse," Miguel replied with a voice of severity. "It's a live video, and it has gone viral.""What?!" I gasped in disbelief, trying hard to process the hard-to-understand piece of information. Luisa? Drugs? They were two worlds apart.It was probably false information, but then, videos were spreading like wildfire. Nevertheless, I couldn't believe Luisa was involved in drugs. There was something wrong somewhere."Where is she now?" I questioned with a low growl."At the station. She's been arrested," Miguel replied solemnly, his eyes on his computer. "Why do I feel like the

The truthLuisa's POV"A visitor?" I questioned in disbelief.Who could come to see me if not Gabriel? He was the only one I could think of, that is, if he wanted to see my face."Come with me" The warden urged, walking to the exit.I stood up with the handcuff on my hands. He led me to a different room where two male figures sat with their back against me.I had to go sit on the chair before them. I took my time to sit properly before looking up to acknowledge the men before me."What?!" I spat in shock, my voice trembling.Why were they here? I mean, what business did they have with me?"Adrian, Miguel" I gasped. "You shouldn't be here.""It's nice to see you too, my darling wife" Adrian replied sarcastically. "Why can't we be here? It's my responsibility to take care of matters like this.""No, it's not" I snapped, fear engulfing my heart. "We had an agreement. What if people find out we're acquainted? It could cause a whole lot of drama for me. I've suffered enough.""Oh, really?"

Devious plansElizabeth's POV"How dare he treat me like an ordinary stranger?!" I snarled as I strutted into my father's house.I was so enraged by how Adrian treated me, telling me we weren't close enough to be acquaintances. I mean to hell with Acquaintances. We've known each other for decades."Welcome, Madame" The butler stood by the door and greeted me with a bow, but I effortlessly ignored him and walked into the living room.Surprisingly, my father was seated on the sofa with a business magazine in his hands.*I thought he had work to do had the company* I whined inwardly, making up my mind to avoid him.I waltzed to the staircase, but before I could take a step further, his cold voice struck my ears."Where are you coming from, Liz?" He berated.I slowly turned to look at him, expecting to meet his gaze, but he still had his eyes on the newspaper."I..." I trailed off when I recalled that I wasn't good at lying. He could find out the truth by himself.I heard him sigh as he c

City viewAdrian's POVWhat exactly did that old man want this time?He had to call me at a critical moment, and he gave me no chance to refuse before ending the call. I thought he wanted nothing to do with the company's investors ever since I became the CEO, but surprisingly, he was attending a meeting today.Still, I couldn't understand why he needed my presence. I'd already assumed he was a lord of perfection as he portrayed himself to be a long time ago."Let's go to the company" I ordered my chauffeur when I got to the car.Soon, we were on our way to the company. I spotted a large entourage of bodyguards lurking around from the gate to the entrance of the building. The old man valued his life even at his age.I alighted from the car and strutted into the building, merely nodding in response to their greetings."Big boss" I heard a familiar voice call, and I turned to see James walking up to me with his signature smile."What's going on?" I asked, raising a brow.James glanced ar

TrespassersAdrian's POV"Come with me, James" I ordered. "We're heading to the construction site for the City View project.""Alright, boss" He replied.We got to the car and hit the road. I took my time to brief James on the meeting. Soon enough, we arrived at the place."Everything looks normal" He stated, looking out the window.I shook my head in disagreement. "We can't be certain until we've checked the whole area. Get out of the car!"He obeyed and opened the car for me. I stepped down gently and took a step forward, taking in the fresh air.The land was a good one; one I had managed to acquire through an auction two years ago. It recently became of good use, and now, some assholes thought they could take the land away from me."Boss, look over there" James called my attention, pointing at a spot. "Those men aren't ours."He was right. We had a uniform our construction workers always wore on duty."Let's go check them out" I stated, feeling a familiar feeling surge through my v

SOSAdrian's POVIt was the audacity for me. Alvarez Innovation was a growing company that started four years ago, unlike Santoria Industries which has been in existence for decades now.Perhaps, their head knew nothing about the power we held in Asia. It seemed some people just needed to be lectured the hard way to instill discipline into them."Big boss" My bodyguards acknowledged me in unison.I nodded in approval and turned to one of them. "Go tell the head of our construction workers to keep working. Whatever's going to happen shouldn't bother them.""Noted, boss" He replied, and walked away.The rest of them didn't need to be told. They all marched towards the place the enemies claimed to be their territory. I didn't even need to be at the front line. Soon enough, bones cracked and shrill screams echoed through the air.James walked up to me with a satisfying smirk on his lips."Big boss, the man we spoke to earlier wants to say something" He revealed."Bring him over" I ordered

AbductedLuisa's POVWhat in the world was she doing here?Immediately, our gaze met, and her eyes glittered with excitement. The thought of turning back and leaving crossed my mind, but for a reason, I couldn't move."Luisa!" She screamed out, rushing to me. "I've been trying to reach you for a week now."I inhaled sharply to calm my racing heart."How did you get my house address, Sarah?" I questioned with a cold voice, my gaze darkened.Sarah shrugged. "I had to speak to someone at Spotlight Desk. Don't blame me, it was the only way I could get to you. I was here last night, but you weren't around."I kept listening to her blabbering, anger rising in the pit of my stomach. Whoever disclosed such confidential information to her had put my life at risk. What if she came here with bad intentions?I took a deep breath. "Sarah, now that you've seen me, you can leave now."I tried to walk away, but she pulled me back. The image of the last incident flashed before my eyes. I swatted her h

ConfessionAdrian's POV"Boss, I found something" Miguel announced. "Pardon me, but I hacked into Madame's phone.""Go on" I urged."The second to the last person she spoke to was a colleague of hers in Spotlight Desk. Her name is Rose" Miguel further revealed. "They were supposed to meet at Madame's house, but she met with someone else. That isn't the important thing right now. The main thing is the same Rose was seen going into Elite Club through the CCTV footage an hour before Madame got there."I was confused. "Unharmed?""Yes, boss" Miguel affirmed. "She went in on her own accord. We need to find her before she escapes. I believe the men you captured are in the best position to help solve the mystery.""Can't you dig further?" I queried, clenching my fist."I can, and I'm on it, but we need the men's confession too" Miguel stated with conviction.A moment passed before I replied. "Fine. I'll head to the basement when I'm done sorting the hospital issues. For the time being, focus

RescuedAdrian's POV"Get your filthy hands off her now" I commanded with an indifferent voice. I realized showing my emotions would only put me at a disadvantage. Yes, it was my territory, but I needed to maintain my image."Or what?" The man challenged, snapping his fingers. Two of his men tossed their guns aside and dashed towards me with their fist balled, ready for a fight."Hmph...." I pursed my lips and dodged the first fist effortlessly. I grabbed the second one and twisted it, making the man wince in pain.Satisfied, I sent him flying backward with a strong kick. The first man was staring at me with shock written on his face.It wasn't my fault. I barely showed my skills unless I was pushed to the wall. Also, controlling my strength was quite difficult. My blood was already boiling with excitement. They had angered me, awakening the demon in me.I swiftly grabbed his neck with his hands and slammed his head against the wall. I repeated the same actions again and again till he

AttackedAdrian's POV"He's gay!!" James yelled, his face etched with horror. "What the actual heck?!"I smirked. "I know, right? I texted Miguel before Philip arrived. I told him to prepare more men and get incriminating evidence that could bring the enemy down.""You mean you knew about this all along?" James questioned, looking upset.I shook my head in denial. Not like I owed him any explanation, but he needed to know the truth."I didn't know about the truth until you mentioned it" I countered. "I'm surprised too, but nothing in this world is supposed to catch us unaware. There's still more we haven't known of yet."James laughed wryly, scrolling through his phone. "I get your point, Big boss, but this man is old. Videos are trending online, except for the fact that his face is not visible. He's lucky.""He's not" I argued. "We made it that way. If he doesn't get his people off my land within the stipulated time, the full video will be released.""Gross!!" James whined. "It's dis

HopelessLuisa's POV"How much is the money?" I berated, cutting him off."Money?" The man laughed. "Who told you we needed your money?""What then do you want?" I asked, sensing an ominous sign."Keep quiet and hear him out. Stop jumping to conclusions on your own" Spencer chipped in, his tone threatening. I didn't dare speak after that.I remained silent, waiting patiently to hear their demand. Suddenly, the door opened and men holding guns trooped in with a grim look on their faces.My heart jumped into my mouth as I stared at them with fear written on my face. It was not what I planned for.My head snapped to the two men sitting in front of me."What's going on here?" I questioned, my voice trembling. "I thought the deal was between the three of us.""It is" Spencer replied, smirking. "We just need to make sure you follow every instruction given to you without showing even a tiny little bit of resistance. Stanley, over to you.""Now, listen" The elderly man called Stanley said, hi

A shocking revelationAdrian's POV"You killed him?" James asked, his brows raised. "Why?""He became worthless the moment he failed to perform the simple task given to him" The old man stated, blowing the smoke off the pistol in his hands. "I don't hold on to cowards for too long."I scoffed inwardly, observing the man. It was quite rare to find old men like him with such guts. Others would have left their lackeys to do the dirty work."Now, back to business" He broke the silence, glaring hard at James. "Were you the one who knocked my right-hand man down?"James swallowed hard and threw a glance at me. He wasn't scared, was he?The old man's gaze was piercing. Even the rest of the men my people had managed to subdue were shaking in fear. I guessed it was understandable.Getting involved was inevitable then."He did" I replied with an indifferent voice, dipping my hand into my pocket. "Your men trespassed by working on the land that legally belongs to me, so they had to pay. Don't te

First VisitLuisa's POV"Elite Club" I declared, getting into the cab I had ordered a few minutes ago. "Please, be quick."Strangely, the cab didn't move. I saw the driver frown through the rearview mirror."Elite Club?" He questioned, sounding displeased.I nodded in affirmation. "Yes, Elite Club. What's wrong?""Haven't you heard the rumors surrounding that place?" He questioned, his voice laced with warning. "You should have heard of people going in and never coming out again."I broke down in cold sweat. "What?!""Yes, it's a club everyone is familiar with here in the Philippines. You should have heard of it" The driver stated. "I don't mind taking you there since I'll be parking outside where the crowd would see me. But if you go inside, your life won't be in your hands anymore."It was my first time hearing about Elite Club. It sounded unique at first. Maybe it was unique in its way. At that point, I recalled my conversation on the phone with the strange man.I shook my head to

DefeatAdrian's POV"Big boss, I'll take care of the ponytail guy" James whispered, his lips curved into an eerie smile as his hands balled into a fist.I smiled knowingly. "I know. You can do whatever you want. Just don't get hurt, and try hard not to show all your trump cards; I can't risk allowing the enemies to predict our every move.""Roger that, Big boss" James replied absentmindedly. I was certain the wind had blown half of my words past his ears.Our men had already engaged in one-on-one combat with the enemies. The strength and teamwork of the enemies were way beyond what I had imagined. It was going to take a lot of guts to deal with them. I just hoped it wasn't going to lead to the part where I got involved."Okay," James snarled and dashed towards Scorpio, who already took a fighting stance.Instantly, the sound of fists echoed through the air. To my uttermost surprise, the Scorpio guy was quite deceptive; I could see it in his moves. James had received a few blows alread
